1957 - PATHS OF GLORY, an excellent antiwar film.

 A masterpiece from Stanley Kubrick.  An antiwar film that is actually an antiwar film without resorting to glorified action scenes which in other antiwar films dilute the whole point of an antiwar film which is to be against war. 

 Besides the well written script, the film is an impressive technical achievement considering a lot of it was shot on location.  The film is set in France and based on a true incident.  Needless to say the French government was not happy about the film and managed to have it banned for quite a while

 

The cast is also very impressive with old pros like Kirk Douglas, Ralph Meeker, Adolphe Menjou, George Macready and the eccentric actor Timothy Carey giving excellent performances.  Douglas's production company has a screen credit and he made it possible for film to get the film made.

The film runs 88 minutes.  The screenplay was by Stanley Kubrick, Calder Willingham and Jim Thompson.
